The reliability could be one of the essential properties for multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) using in various electronic devices and the concentration and mobility of oxygen vacancy would play important role in the reliability. To investigate the migration behavior of oxygen vacancies, thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) is adopted. In dielectric material of X5R MLCC, the TSD-Current peak observed around 150$^{\circ}C$ and 200$^{\circ}C$ which represented the migration of oxygen vacancy. Substituting Yttrium for Dysprosium in X5R MLCC showed higher migration activation energy and lower TSD current density.

MLCCs are used broadly in electronic industry like smart phone and TV. Although they are fabricated in small size and have high capacitance, there are acoustic noise problems to reduce comfort of user. Acoustic noise results from linear piezoelectricity and nonlinear electrostriction of $BaTiO_3$ in MLCC and there are some researches on MLCC vibration under AC electric field. When only AC electric field without DC bias is applied to MLCC, fundamental frequency response is affected by piezoelectricity and second-harmonic frequency response shows electrostrictive vibration. In this study we get vibration shape of MLCC under AC electric field for each frequency and analysis on the mechanism of MLCC vibration affected by piezoelectricity and electrostriction.

This paper presents the Application of Response Surface Method for Optimal Transfer Conditions of MLCC Alignment System. his paper is composed of two parts: (1) Testing performance verification of MLCC alignment system, compared with manual operation; (2) Applying response surface method to figuring out the optimal transfer conditions of MLCC transfer system. Based on the successfully developed MLCC alignment system, the optimal transfer conditions have been explored by using RSM. The simulations using $ADAMS^{(R)}$ has been performed according to the cube model of CCD. By using $MiniTAB^{(R)}$, we have established the model of response surface based on the simulation results. The optimal conditions resulted from the response optimization tool of $MiniTAB^{(R)}$ has been verified by being assigned to the prototype of MLCC alignment system.

In the process of MLCC manufacturing, MLCC stacking process is the key process of making high quality MLCC. Since MLCC is small components, the entire process of MLCC stacking process is minute and sensitive to micro errors. To prevent micro error, we suggest condition-based monitoring which quantifies error based on feature extraction and quantifying error method. As results, it has been shown that the suggested algorithm has effectiveness of condition based monitoring of MLCC stacker.

MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitor) is usually fabricated by lamination of predetermined number of single layers. Often, the state of MLCC before sintering is called the green state, whose strength comes from the adhesion between the dielectric material and the polymer binder. Therefore the lamination of a single layer before sintering can be easily deformed by environment due to the relatively lower strength. After the compression process, which helps single sheets cohereto with adjacent sheets, the MLCC green bar is preheated to resolve the probable internal stress. Unfortunately, unexpected deformation after preheating resulted in problems during cutting of the MLCC green bar. In this study, one of 2 primary hypotheses which were proposed to resolve the unexpected deformation after preheating was examined by quantitative experiment with GC/MS (gas chromatograpy/mass spectrometer). The proportion of deformation caused by DOP evaporation, which was primarily evaporated componet during preheating, to the total deformation of the MLCC green bar was found to be 53%.

MLCC is one of the most frequently used component in high-tech device like smart phone. Because of dynamic characteristic of piezoelectric materials which is main ingredient of MLCC, its vibration leads to acoustic noise from pcb. To solve this problem at minimal cost, company has to change only the main noise-generating MLCC to low noise-generating MLCC. To find the main noise source, this study approached to solution from a vibration point of view. From mode shapes of pcb at particular frequencies, two groups can be obtained; MLCCs soldered at where maximum deformation occurs and where anti-phase with respect to the other group appears. When the MLCC belongs to 1st group does not working, amplitude at where maximum deformation occurs decreases compared to when all MLCCs are working. This tendency also appears in noise measurement. This analysis can be put to use in various fields where require noise reduction or noise source identification.

It is necessary to minimize the thickness of Ni inner electrode layer and to improve the coverage of inner electrode, for the purpose of developing the ultra high-capacity multi layered ceramic capacitor (MLCC). Thus, low temperature sintering of dielectric $BaTiO_3$ ceramic should be precedently investigated. In this work, the relationship between dielectric properties of MLCC and batch condition such as mixing and milling methods was investigated in the $BaTiO_3$(BT)-Dy-Mg-Ba system with borosilicate glass as a sintering agent. In addition, several chip properties of MLCC manufactured by low temperature sintering were compared with conventionally manufactured MLCC. It was found that low temperature sintered MLCC showed better DC-bias property and lower aging rate. It was also confirmed that the thickness of Ni inner electrode layer became thinner and the coverage of inner electrode was improved through low temperature sintering.

MLCC (Multi-layer Ceramic Capacitor) is the most important passive component in electronic devices such as HHP, PC and digital display. The development trend of MLCC is a miniaturization with increasing the capacitance.
